Posted by madotteя
OK, so it arrived this morning:
-Asus P5N32-E SLI NF680i SLI, S 775, PCI-E (x16), DDR2 533/667/800, SATA II, SATA RAID, ATX
-1000W Enermax EG1000EWL V2 Galaxy Modular PSU 85% Eff' EPS12v Triple Quad +24 Rails Silent x2 Fan
-Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, Socket 775, 2.4 GHz, 1066MHz FSB, Conroe Core, 4MB Cache, Retail
-2GB (2x1GB) CorsairTwinX XMS2 Dominator,DDR2 PC2-6400,240 Pins, NonECC Unbuffered, CAS 4-4-4-12, EPP
-320 Gb Western Digital WD3200YS RE, SATA300, 7200 rpm, 16MB Cache, 8.9 ms
-768Mb XFX 8800GTX PCI-E (x16), Mem 1800 MHz, GPU 575 MHz, 128 Streams, HDTV 2 x Dual Link DVI
-1.44Mb Sony Black Floppy Disk Drive OEM (to install the drivers for SATA)
-LiteOn LH-20A1P-487C 20x DVD±RW x12 Ram Dual Lay SuperAllWrite Kit Inc Black/silver/Beige Retail kit
-Antec Nine Hundred/Ultimate Gamer Case no PSU
-400 Watt Logitech Z2300 2.1 Speakers THX Certified (had 5.1, no need as the stand next to each other, each side of the desk)
-22" Iiyama PLE2200WS-B, Widescreen VGA/DVI 1680x1050, 5 ms, 1000:1, 300 cd/m2, Speakers, Black
But there's a problem already
Scan forgot to put the Zalman CPU cooler in so I can't build it yet. Called them and they said they will get it sent out asap but it may not be with me until next Tuesday, latest. Hopefully it will turn up tomorrow but only time will tell. The only suggestion the guy had was that I use the stock one for now (that comes with the E6600) but then when it does turn up I will have to get some paste remover and mess about changing it. I think it can all stay boxed and I can hope for the cooler to arrive tomorrow. Other than that, Scan has been excellent! When I rang up to order, the guy went through everything with me and provided advice and support. Brilliant! OCuK just wanted my cash where as Scan seem to have customer service. Would recommend anyone to buy from Scan, the prices are low and the service is top notch (just make sure you remind them to put ALL the parts in the box )

Actually I have! Got all the cable ties to clip the CPU on the mobo, only problem is I have ran out of super glue to make sure the ram stays in...

i always wondered too what you did with old stuff ian - a friend of mine keeps his for backups just incase, but got to a point where he could choose from about a bundle of 5 different everythings, mobos, cards etc.
so yeah, just out of curiosity do you hang on to your old stuff incase, or sell second hand? as with Herr Turkey I would also be highly interested if you were to by chance sell any of your old stuff!

Only I'm a lot more interested than Dan is, cause my rig's about 6 years old at least, and starting to show it's age! (Celeron 800, 512 PC-133 RAM, PCI (no bloody AGP slot on the mobo, thanks Gigabyte) GeForce FX5200, and a few other bits and pieces thrown in there cause I need it)

Yeah, I am selling it. No idea about price though... Having problems here. The whole thing is RMA!! The PSU had a fault and blew up the mobo, graphics card (NOOOO!!, poor 8800 
) cpu, ram and they want to take it all back to check the parts that don't appear to be dead and replace what needs replacing. So another 5-7 working days now!! Great

Unlucky! Its damn annoying when you go out and spend a bigger amount of money trying to get better quality parts and they fail on you. I know, I've had that happen on me quite a few times in the past, however I had to take them back to OcUK :/
Looks like you went for a similar spec to mine Except for the GFX card Just can't justify paying £400 odd on a GFX card here...
